A good kind of exhausted.

my heart hurts..........I made the decision to rehome my riding horse. I cannot physically handle a full sized horse anylonger. I have serious hip problems that are going to take two years worth of surgeries and rehab to make functional again. I cannot see her spending two years in a pasture, and I cant justify the board for her for that long without me being able to ride her. Just as I made the decision to rehome her to a dear friend (who had made me feel so comfortable in rehoming her) I was told she cant take her for three more months. I need to let go now that I have "let go" psychologically and I will not emotionally be able to handle waiting three more months to release her to someone else. I am in a quandry now...I have other options but she was the best. I dont know what to do...and my heart aches figuring out what to do

Oh my dear Soft Silver, what a sad and difficult cross-road you face. Human or animal, the beings we love can mean everything to us.

Relieved...

I met up with a client that is known to be "difficult" but we got along just fine.

We agree on politics ( she hates Trump and loves Bernie) and I love her Maine coon cat. I had one when I was a teenager...

Fantastic! We're finding out tomorrow if my son's partner is having a boy or a girl. I've been invited to the ultrasound and I can't wait to see, get a first glimpse of my grandson or granddaughter, or maybe it will be twins!! :beachkids:

a little disappointed because ...

We have not been alerted to stay home today ... and I am not up to negotiating this possibly icy pigtrail (it is paved) road out of my back woods. The road is all up and down little deep hills and very sharp curves to the main road.

I just am lazy. I won't be in any danger. It is a morning to stay in bed and snuggle buggle with Jennifer and Kevie.

Need to get my butt in gear, leave extra early so not to be late for work.

Hope everyone who is experiencing actual winter weather is extra careful.

Be Safe and Hugs to All!
:)

Pretty good. I think my computer at work is fixed. She had to reinstall the OS because all my preferences were corrupt. I'll have to spend a couple hours customizing it, but at least I'll be able to do some work. The last thing I want is to have to work this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed.

:bow:

I feel surprisingly rested for how little sleep I have had this week. Also feel healthy, happy, and excited. I should be feeling more stress than I am. I am sure that will hit later today.

Much better! I've been sick, sick, sick all week. Actually started last weekend. I wouldn't give in to it. Yesterday I caved. Today I'm feeling much better after changing my shirt twice in the middle of the night from sweating it soaking wet.

In a word......tipsy lol.

Sickly and stupidly happy!

It's snowing all night tonight
.


I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Yes I moved to escape all this... But yet it makes me happy...I'm a conundrum...

Pretty good, just taking things easy till the next upcoming week, then it is time to get busy with things, that I have planned.

I am feeling content, happy, safe, warm.

My county put out a bulletin that all roads from my home outbound for 15 to 20 miles closed at 6:00 p.m. this evening and will remain closed until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow unless they extend it. There may be snow on the ground in the morning but I will believe it when I see it. For Kevin and Jennifer's sake, I wish for snow ... all my dogs from the past loved playing in it.

We have everything we need. Stocked up on lots of groceries and snack treats ... but did not buy any more of those LITTLE DEBBIE CHOCOLATE SWISS CAKE ROLLS. I made a pig of myself recently by eating way too many of those and almost damn near died. Felt greenish and putrid after the hella sugar rush subsided. It actually affected the way I felt for a couple of days.

I feel like I'm getting a preview of homestead living...

First we had bad plumbing for over a month

Then the heating system was down for about a week

Now that that's fixed I woke up to frozen pipes...

All day sans water and for the first time EVER I went to bed without filling my Brita. I need to run to the store but my driveway is a hill and still icy.

Woe is me lol

Feeling
 

I feel great! I have a happy and healthy life that is full of love.

:cowboy:

Very happy! Too excited to wait the kids paid for an early ultrasound. So far everything looks good - all the appropriate parts and pieces in correct working order – nothing missing, nothing duplicate. She’s having a boy and my son is ecstatic, his older brother is very excited too. He tried to give the baby image on the big screen a toy. It was so sweet and it would have been great to have a picture of it but no cameras or cell phones allowed in the exam room. In any case I’m sure it’s something our family will be remembering - talking and reminiscing about for a very long time.

How exciting!

I am feeling like one does when they are 42 and spend the weekend partying like they are still 20. I have zero regrets.

I am feeling...hopeful! A therapeutic riding stable contacted me about my mare, that I thought I had to give up because of my upcoming double hip surgery. They are very excited about her and think she is a real prospect for their program. The good news is they would only lease her for a couple years (longer if needed) and I could get her back when I am all healed! I wont have to lose my horse if this goes this way!

If you can send us some energy to make this happen, I would really appreciate it!

Tired and hungry.........

Still sick.

Still coughing.

:cough:

I hope you feel better soon! (f)

Something's going around. :( I'm just starting to feel better. Hope you will too.

Still stuffed up... but my eyeballs no longer feel like they might pop outta their sockets!! I tried every OTC that friends suggested... not one worked to reduce the pressure. Best thing was one of those saline sinus rinse things. Yeah, not very sexy but... lol. Just saying... in case anyone else suffers yearly from sinus infections... as I do. :(

Pretty good, finally no headaches for a change.

I am 42 as well but spent the weekend bent over and hiking snow everywhere. I do regret that. lol

I'm glad you had fun!

Sending you some positive juju! I hope it works out.

I've still got a cough that holding on too. It'll be a while, from whatever everyone else in this area is saying. Some haven't gotten fully rid of it and it's been 6 weeks. Oy.

A netty pot? My employee suggested that for me but that kind of thing triggers my suffocation/drowning reflexes and it's not pretty for anyone.

Glad it works for you, though.

As for myself, I feel like a tenderized piece of meat. My shoulders and mid to lower back are complaining this morning but the schnoz is clear so far. That will change once I get out into the single digit air.

I'm just going to keep telling myself, it's Monday but it's Friday too; I get the next two days off so it's not that bad.

Feeling good and am hoping to have an easy day at work.

Exhausted....

My coworker never showed up to relieve me so I ended up doing an 18 hour shift...

I'm not exceedingly happy about her and I'm going to have to call my boss about it. I can't do it two days in a row and I'm scheduled tonight too.

Oh yeah and starving too...

I didn't plan on having food with me for the duration.

I stopped at one of My favorite bakeries and got me a Boston cream donut made by a New Yorker who actually knows how. But it only took the edge off....

In a funk, but it will pass.

Hugs for you! Hugs cure all.... :)

Gemme = A netty pot? My employee suggested that for me but that kind of thing triggers my suffocation drowning reflexes and it's not pretty for anyone.

I'm unclear, have you tried it?

I thought the same thing! I swim, scuba, snorkel, etc... I've plenty of times had (sea, lake, river, pond, etc.) water up my nose and down my throat... who the hell would want that!! But... that's not how it works.

I only started having allergies and sinus infections since I've been in Texas. After several Neti recommendations I finally caved and bought something similar from Walgreens...

So, I followed the directions ... making sure I had the "swisher" (what I call it) at the right angle... it doesn't feel like water up the nose at all.

Based on what friends have said re: the Neti ... the style I bought is better... more comfortable. The Neti requires you to tip your head to the side... an awkward angle. The Neti doesn't allow you to control the amount of water that flows into your nose or the pressure with which it enters. The style above is much easier and better ... you tilt your head down a bit and apply pressure to the container. You control volume and pressure.

If it a go! Or maybe try the one above. I resisted a sinus rinse for a few years, it made no sense!! Now I use it as soon a lil congestion in my nose ... the first signs of a pending infection.

Oops...

If it a go! = Give it a go! ;)

Tired and achey.
